Memo of the present state of the Ordou
Protestant worship case.

The Greek Protestants of Ordou, seeing
that any attempt to persist in meeting
for worship in their parsonage would,
rightly or wrongly, cause new difficulties,
have decided to abandon what they deem
their right to secure the building and to
build a church. To this end they have
selected two different sites and have
requested the local authorities so far
to depart for the usual practice in the
matter of applications for such Firmans
as to state before the purchase of the land,
instead of insisting on the purchase being
made before consideration of the question,
whether the sides are held to open to
objection
